I am a Senior Lecturer in Marine and Offshore Engineering and a member of Liverpool Logistics, Offshore and Marine (LOOM) research centre. My expertise is in decarbonisation of the marine industry. It is my mission to contribute to and promote CO2 emission reduction in the ocean environment. To this end, I am involved in several research projects in drag reduction technologies for merchant vessels and renewable energy technologies.
In my current role, I deliver Offshore Engineering and Fluid Dynamics modules. In addition to my teaching duties, I am a co-investigator in the European Interreg project ArcWind, which is investigating the development of floating offshore wind turbines for France, Portugal and the UK. Currently, I am conducting two research projects which are pursuing to diminish merchant vessels' water resistance by reducing skin friction. I am also experienced in the upstream and downstream sectors of the oil and gas industry, which provides me with a firm understanding of offshore and marine industries.
Currently, I am looking for motivated candidates to undertake PhD studies in:
• Interaction between Offshore wind turbines and Crew Transfer Vessels (CTV)
• Dynamics of floating structures
• Hydrodynamics of floating structures
• Drag reduction through alteration of boundary layer
A full scholarship is available for home and EU students, and partial funding for exceptional overseas candidates.
